Arc'teryx Naos 45 Backpack - 2500-2870cu in
May 22, 2009
The biggest advantage is the swivel hipbelt. I own the Naos 55, and I can say that the swivel lets the pack move with you, no matter how contorted you become while scrambling over obstacles. It really feels like a part of you. The Acrux uses a conventional fixed hipbelt, so you won't get the same sense of being one with your gear. Nevertheless, I'm sure it's a fine pack.

Arc'teryx Naos 55 Backpack - 3230-3600cu in
April 10, 2009
I'm 6' tall with a very long torso (my sleeve length is 36.5") and I was right on the line between regular and tall. I ultimately decided to go for the tall frame and I've been very happy with it, but it sounds like you'd be more in the range of a short or regular.

Timbuk2 Laptop Messenger Bag

I have a medium; it fits up to a 15" Macbook Pro. For a 17" laptop you'll want the large.
